Job description

Calling all confident classroom commanders!
Want to stay in the classroom without the planning, marking, or Monday staff meetings? You might just be the Cover Supervisor East London schools have been waiting for.

We’re working with a range of brilliant secondary schools across East London who need proactive, adaptable Cover Supervisors to keep learning ticking over when teachers are away. Whether you're looking for regular work or just a few days to fit around other commitments, we’ll match you with schools that suit your style.

The role:

• Stepping into different classrooms and keeping lessons on track
• Delivering pre-set work (no planning required!)
• Managing behaviour and creating a calm, focused atmosphere
• Being a reliable presence that schools can count on

Who it suits:

• Confident communicators with classroom or youth work experience
• Aspiring teachers gaining school experience before a PGCE
• Ex-teachers or TAs who want more flexibility
• Unflappable types who can walk into a new class and own the room

You’ll need:

• An enhanced DBS (or willingness to get one through us)
• Experience working with young people
• Strong behaviour management and a sense of humour
• A flexible, ‘let’s-do-this’ attitude

What you’ll get from Protocol Education:

• Weekly pay through PAYE (no umbrella faff)
• Access to our online CPD Academy – free training, including behaviour and SEND modules
• Personalised support from your local East London consultant
• Streamlined registration – we like to keep things simple
• Opportunities in mainstream, SEND, and alternative settings
• Referral scheme – earn rewards when you bring a mate

Bonus points if you're Thrive trained—but if not, we’ll sort you out with free training to give you an edge with schools!

Ready to step in and make a difference? Apply today and we’ll be in touch to get the ball rolling.
